These are movie pitches from this past weekend that received a “maybe” vote from me. You will now vote for your favorite pitches. Only the top FOUR will make it into the contest!
We have our first official eleven entries, ready to be sent to the island to find love. They are…
Just Another Day by Brenkilco
Wyvern by Finn Morgan
Eternal Stakes by Dev
Tenmile by Branko Maksic
Hear/Say by David Cahill
The Cape by Mr. Blonde
Aftershock by Paperback Writer
Off The Bench by Federico
Doors by Connor L
Dream On by ScriptChick
Love Neighs by Maksim
Mason Triumphant, by Kit Anderson, scored just as many upvotes as Love Neighs but I’m making a personal choice here. I’m worried about a superhero movie where nobody ever uses superpowers, especially in a high concept contest. But I’m sure Kit will be pitching some sweet ideas over the next three weekends. So, it’s not over yet!
Also, shame on you guys for not voting in Robo-Hoe. So much shame being sent your way. I would definitely save that idea for the next comedy contest on the site, though.
Okay, moving on, we’re doing the same thing we did yesterday. I’m going to post all the ‘maybes’ down in the comments section. Each script idea will occupy its own comment. Upvote the ideas you like. Simple as that. And you can upvote as many as you want. But please only upvote the ones you genuinely like and for which you’d want to see the movie.
Now, this next part is going to be controversial. But there are too many ‘maybes’ to place in this mini-voting contest. Therefore, I got rid of a bunch of them. It wasn’t easy. But I went with my gut. By the way, I couldn’t find COUNTDOWN by Simon Veksner or Six Pack by Ken. If you can find those, post them below. I will decide whether to include them in today’s voting.
You have until 11:59pm Pacific Time tonight (Tuesday). Only FOUR scripts are going to make it through today. So every vote counts!
